Hi,
I just got a newsletter from Nils Bauer games. Smugglers 5 is released as
Beta, and it has a compatibility mode for blind players in it, just like
Smugglers 4. The important part of the message is below.
**** Smugglers 5 - Beta released !!
I am happy to announce that we have finished the development of the fifth
installment of the Smugglers series. Today we have released a feature
complete and fully playable beta version of the game.
Smugglers 5 is the fifth installment in the turn-based single-player space
trading game series. Will you be a greedy trader, an ambitious fleet pilot
or a ruthless pirate? Board enemy ships, manage factories, conquer star
systems and forge your own galactic empire - ultimately, your actions will
have an impact on a galactic scale.

The fifth instalment in the long-running Smugglers series features a
completely revised turn-based combat system and a range of new ships to fly,
as well as a host of exciting features:

them waiting.
